!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so stinkin' excited! CJ landed his first commercial job yesterday! WOOHOO! With the help of a friend of a friend, but still - it never hurts to throw names around when you can right? It's a community of quadplex's in Weatherford - 40 units, clubhouse, pool, blah blah. Anyway we're the new grounds crew!! Yeah us! And the manager there told our "connection" that we weren't the lowest bid, but she liked CJ the best. :-) That's what I'm talking about! I've always thought that CJ's biggest asset besides the fact that he won't tolerate people doing a half-a** job, is his people skills. He has a real knack for dealing with people. It's like you know instantly that you can trust him. So.........Yeah CJ! I'm finishing up a proposal for our bank this weekend and CJ's going to turn that in on Monday. Cross your fingers we get that job too. The big man at the bank actually approached CJ about it when he was in there doing our loan papers last week and asked him to turn in a bid - do a little happy dance!

Guess what? Grace and Tanner went to their first sleepover last night. They were SO excited. It was a lock in at GymKats. Apparently, GymKats has been doing an annual Halloween lock in for 18 years now. There is no age limit - as young as they'll stay to as old as they want to come, like 90% of the kids are 4-10. I did see several little ones there when I dropped off the kids, like maybe young 3's. She said last year they had 85 kids and that was definately a handful so this year they set the limit at 60. Two people were in charge of signing everyone up. Only due to a communication error they both thought the other one was writing everyone down on the official list and when they compiled it - 80 kids, not including the children of the ladies working there last night! C-R-A-Z-Y I tell ya. But they are SO good with the kids. They let them have free time in the gym, then they separated them into age groups and did some structured activities, snacks, a G-rated movie for all those who were interested, crafts, fun, fun, fun. I can't wait to pick them up this morning and hear all the fun stories.

Well, I'm gonna run. Have a GREAT weekend.
